I worked for Pizza Hut when the Hot Dog Bites pizza was being sold. Two things - One, it came off the menu because they sold poorly and most people thought it was a joke (we sold at most one a day on average). Two, that's actually not how we made it. We had long hot dogs that we used to make a stuffed crust, then we used a special set of rings to cut the crust into the bites that we then rotated so they'd be easier to pull off and you could see the hot dog. Honestly, they were really labor-intensive compared to a regular pizza and I really disliked making them.
thanks for the explanation. with every item here, I have the feeling that it is done in a way it is meant to be, but not in a way that it was done to have it reasonably priced.
in other videos, he fries meat in wagyu fat. that stuff is rather expensive.
Made "dogs in a blanket" couple of months ago. I'm still sick. Yuk 🤢
The ingredients are good but Hot dogs in a oven get dry...
We still have that menu here in Indonesia. With garlic mayo dipping sauce. It is called Stuffed Crust
Oh, we do have Cheesy Bites too at Pizza Hut Indonesia. Instead of sausage, they replace it with cheese
@@robihindrawan1688And the cheesy bites with cheese ROCKS!!!
Guga, I used to work for Pizza Hut. The reason why it was discontinued was because it wasn't " already made ". It was precooked yes but not already made. There was this " tool " that looked like a big ring that was used to press down onto only the outer edges of the dough and cut them into strip segments, then the piggies were placed in the center of each segment and rolled individually. The same tool was used to make the cheese only version by placing 2 inch cheese sticks in each cut segment of the dough and rolling them individually. The reason they were both discontinued ( or at least made seasonal only ) was because of the time it took to make them. It was very time consuming and couldn't meet the demand.
Came here to say that
When I worked at pizza hut we would prep 10 of the hotdog version and 20 of the cheese version. It was more prep, but we would make the pizza in the same amount of time as the others, that way.
fun fact: an older anime called Code Geass was sponsored by Pizza Hut and had one of the main characters consistently eat the pig in a blanket crust pizza, usually with a 50/50 topping spread of beef and broccoli / shrimp tempura.
@@ShadowAraun I was thinking the same thing. Wasnt expecting for someone to mention that 2006 anime. Anyway, it seems like Japan had that hot dog pizza way way before Americans even saw it. Japan always has gimmicky and trendy foods from fast food chains.
At my store we would just roll the dogs same as a stuffed crust and then use the ring to cut the rolled dogs after which we turned them. Still a pain, but it had to be faster than rolling each individually
The lobster from McDonalds was a while supplies last item not apart of the main menu, and was the biggest pain in the butt as if a small piece fell onto the counter production in the kitchen had to stop and you had to sanitize the whole area incase someone had a shell fish allergy. Also for the cleanup NOTHING else could go in the sink with the lobster supplies, we had to clean everything THEN sanitize the whole sink before anything else went in to prevent cross contamination.
Yet another instance of the few ruining it for the many
Shellfish/seafood allergies are actually common. I'm one of the unlucky ones. @@coldestbeer
I believe it's still a regional item in main.
The McLobster, a seasonal lobster roll offered by McDonald's in select regions, was discontinued primarily due to its high cost, limited appeal, and regional availability. The McLobster was part of McDonald's strategy to diversify its menu by offering regional specialties. However, several factors contributed to its discontinuation:
1. **High Cost and Price:** The McLobster was relatively expensive both for the company to produce and for customers to buy. The cost of lobster can be volatile, often leading to a higher retail price for the sandwich compared to other menu items. This made it less attractive to customers looking for quick, affordable food options.
2. **Limited Appeal:** The McLobster had a niche appeal. While it was popular in regions where lobster is a common and beloved food item, such as parts of Canada and the northeastern United States, it did not resonate as well with the broader McDonald's customer base.
3. **Seasonal and Regional Availability:** The McLobster was a seasonal item, available only for a limited time each year, and was offered in select markets where lobster was more readily available and popular. This limited its exposure and the opportunity for it to become a staple menu item.
4. **Inconsistent Quality and Perception Issues:** Maintaining consistent quality with a product like lobster, which is more delicate and variable than other fast-food ingredients, can be challenging. There were also perception issues regarding the quality of a lobster product being sold at a fast-food chain, which may have affected its popularity.
These factors combined made the McLobster a less viable option for McDonald's continuing menu, leading to its discontinuation. McDonald's periodically reviews and updates its menu offerings based on consumer demand, cost-effectiveness, and operational efficiency, leading to the phasing out of some products over time.
I'll give you a like for the effort you put in to make your point.
Guga, i live in Puerto Rico and am proud to tell you that the doble down is still on the menu here in the island and the cheessa in here to but only for a limited time
As a former fast food worker, specifically KFC, the reason most of these were discontinued was because of the additional work they were. We did our best to use as few of the machines as possible. Things like hot dogs, boneless chicken breasts, etc, are extra work
makes sense that was my first thought
I thin another part may be artificial scarcity. Take a popular item off the menu and occasionally bring it back to create high demand.
The Double (as it was called when it was released in Australia) isn't something that requires any special extra machines or equipment or ingredients. And it seemed to be popular last time they had it on the menu. I wish KFC Australia would bring it back, if they did I would eat so many during the promo period.
😂😂wow. Im glad some people still have a little bit of Common Sense. Uh yea maybe it'll be extra work. I think more work more time. 👏 wow.
So lazy. How hard is it to slap a few more ingredients or more work to cook and prep.
3:53 for anyone who’s interested the Hula burger was intended as an alternative for Catholics to eat on Fridays when they couldn’t eat meat, but a franchisee invented the Fillet o Fish which ended up being more popular among Catholics and is still sold today
Yep. Founder/CEO Ray Kroc actually made a bet with said franchisee that the Hula Burger would be more popular than the franchisee's Filet-o-Fish. It was very much not.
Wait really? Catholics? I thought most Catholics didn't care about eating meat on Fridays, specially on LatinAmerica. I think the ones who couldn't eat it were Jews...
90% correct.
It was much less of a concern to lose the handful of Catholics who actually abstain from meats on Fridays than it was to lose the patronage of the much larger portion of Christians as a whole who abstain for six weeks during Lent. It's the same reason a lot of chicken places down south will put out seasonal seafood items on their menus.
I believe it was for this reason that Taco Bell briefly added shrimp tacos and burritos to their menu.
Mc.Donalds knew what they were doing when they invented the Hula Burger.
Pineapple on cheese is an infamous combination that I don't think has ever gone together while fish and cheese can work, so I don't know what they were thinking with the hula burger.
6:36 according to online, the McLobster is still available in the summer times in Atlantic Canada and New England locations whenever lobster is in abundance
It is, and it doesn't look that good nor is it any good
They use imitation lobster for it which is actually typically more expensive
I havbe had one, in the late 70s, early 80s. Real lobster claws and knuckles, no cayenne, just mayo and lettuce. It was really good. I grew up eating lobster rolls at shacks in NH and Maine. I would love to have one right now, sadly inFL, they are way overpriced and a lot of times use spiny lobsters, which are not lobster at all.
In Atlantic Canada we have a Fish & Chips fast food place Called Deluxe that has them year round and it's infinitely better than Mcd's.
@@22qartandmusicI was about to say the probably use imitation lobster
Thank you Guga and crew for another great video! Was trying to avoid this episode just so I wouldn't be bummed on foods of the past but you made it enjoyable. Seen some I haven't tried but will now be recreating at home. Looking forward to some more videos like this.
The McLobster is still around, but it's only in New England, and only in locations that are close to a ready supply of cheap, _processed_ lobster. If the lobster has to travel more than 10-15 miles, or can't be purchased already processed, cleaned and chopped, then it's not happening. This means it's also seasonal, but since lobster is in season during *tourist* season, that's when you'll see it. It's also entirely at the discretion of the store manager. Port towns like Gloucester, Portsmouth or Portland are where you have a chance to find it. Also, I noticed that you are using Kewpie Mayo. That's going to be a HUGE improvement.
Might as well get an actual lobster roll somewhere if you're already IN New England
Thanks for this - gonna make a note, might have to add locations like those to a road trip sometime in the future to give that one a try! Can't help but be curious about how McDonalds does with these...
@@al145 Same reason you'll stop somewhere like McDonalds instead of a restaurant that makes 'better' burgers - convenience, speed
Kewpie Mayo is the way, normal Mayo don't stand any chance anymore
@RyTrapp0 There are plenty of better places to get a lobster roll that are equally fast and convenient, but curiosity is a big factor. I’m just curious to see what McDonalds lobster tastes like, even though I hate mayo.
Love how Guga just went straight to the point in this video
Great Idea!!
Huge fan of your channel
Im guessing youre the one who suggested this idea?
W channel
This might be my favorite Guga's video!
bro i swear to god i always bring these up to people and they have no idea what im talking about i thought i was crazy
The triple layer crust pizza from Dominos WILL go down in history as the most underrated discontinued food item. Super disappointed this didn't make the list Guga honestly. It was an option you could get on any pizza which had a 3 layer pizza base with 2 different kinds of gooey cheese between the layers it was AMAZING and it's been longer than 15 years discontinued
It’s back again in Australia
@@MaxWard-kb3mn It's close, but they have a layer of cheese then a layer of sauce and it's WAY thinner than before. Still a good twist
The Double Down first came out 15+ years ago. I had it once, it was amazing, but that single sandwich had more calories than I'm supposed to eat in a single day. Shortly after it came out, all the fast food places went through a "let's make everything healthier" phase, like when McDonald's sold salads, and KFC got rid of it for about a decade and brought it back a short while ago for a limited time.
> that single sandwich had more calories than I'm supposed to eat in a single day
In fairness, pretty sure you can say this about 99% of all fast food now LOL
@@xTerrenemore like 50% lol
Actually only had 610 calories
This being in the video was so weird to me because our KFCs in Puerto Rico still have them, and I get it whenever I want to get fucked up by KFC
What I find funny is they're saying "why did they take this out?" if cost wasn't an excuse the company would use, I remember it being an item they KNEW was so bad for you it was released on halloween with a makeshift WILL TO THOSE WHO WILL OUTLIVE YOU being included for the joke. It's not hard to figure out why it didn't last.
The one discontinued fast food item I loved and still miss is the Jalapeno Double from McDonald's. My favorite part was the Jalapeno crisps they added to make the burger really crunchy and satisfying to bite into.
That was my favorite as well when they had it on the menu. Good times 😌
Yes I remember those 🤤 so delicious and the fish mcbites 😭!
They still have a jalapeño burger on the menu here in Poland which is surprising considering polish food is not known for spice!
It’s like $2 USD so pretty cheap as well!
the people living with guga are in heaven (both meanings)
Thats why they named him angel
@seijiren5115 yet the kid named Angel uses God's name in vain.
yea because they all died because of all of that fat but it was 100% worth it
I’d put money down he doesn’t cook as nice at home. Most chefs don’t.
Definitely
Guga was downright evil with that chicken nugget deception 😂
Trust me, your recreation of these dishes is going to be way better than the originals. That's the biggest reason everything on here was discontinued aside from financial ROI...
He is a professional chef and these are in no way accurate comparisons. He should be intentionally using lower quality ingredients or suboptimal cooking methods to match how they might have actually tasted.
one ingredient thats impossible to recreate at home is the mayo that restaurants use, the flavor profile is called “Heavy Duty Mayo”. not only is it a better thicker consistancy than typical storebought or homemade mayo, but “Heavy Duty” is a secret generic flavor profile that is formulated to be the best tasting mayo. mayo is a complex balance of ingredients and only the commercial machines get a consistant result and flavor that people want. heavy duty mayo only comes in massive tubs for restaurant use, so its really a gatekept ingredient that commercial chefs have in their arsenal to help elevate sandwiches and have a superior base for sauces. i wouldve liked to see the mcdonald’s snack wrap in this video because honestly a key ingredient is the mayo, not just the chicken and flour tortilla.
He was a profesional chef, all the breading all the sauce all the ingredients was not the same, some recipe they said was amazing sometimes really awful in real product
I think a lot of the more gimmicky stuff was just supposed to get people in the door, not necessarily to make a high ROI.
bingo
8:01 Cayeene Pepper………God Bless You, Guga. I died when I heard Leo say that and the roasting began. Lol
McLobsters are seasonal menu items.. coming from a lobster fishing community in canada I confirm that it's only on when lobster fishing season is on. cheers Guga
It's the same here in New England it only comes out during the summer.
im from NS and thats exactly what i was thinking lol, everyone loves them there
What the heck is a mclobster and why can't I get one in the desert? 😲😅
Is it as bad as their lame, flavorless, stamped, pressed, minced fish sandwich thing?
this is a regional item as well. never seen it in the mid west.
@@RRr-yl8zr minced fish sandwich? I don't think the majority of the world has that on the menu, ours is a fully unminced dory fillet
2:41 if this made a return (even if it’s just seasonal), ain’t nobody outpizzaing the hut
The naked taco was the best idea of any fast food restaurant. So much protein.
I don't know what was up with the chicken we used but that stuff went to rock hard after being left alone for more than 5 minutes so I had to always tell the customers to eat it immediately.
@@BunnyTheOverlord lmfao
That is bot egg wash
@@MalekJutras ???
just replace the mayo with bbq or honey.
The SMILE on Guga’s face when they bit into the “chicken” nuggets was just…it was perfect. Guga, you imp!
I immediately noticed the "Cayeene" pepper, and just about snorted my coffee out my nose when Leo noticed it 😂
This video is helping cheer me up. One of the horses at the barn i go to passed away from a medical emergency this morning a few hours after I was the last one to see him. I've been crying all day. You can still see his imprint on the ground where he was laying. Thanks for the happy video Guga and friends. Please keep my friend Kari in your thoughts and prayers since she lost her beloved horse Tonto this morning (he was a brown and white paint and had a thick Fuzzy coat. We called him Teddy Bear. One brown eye and one blue eye). Beautiful boy
5:15
Bruh Leo’s face man when he sees the double down dog. 😂😂😂😂
@1:00 to the editor in charge, bless you for allowing the internet to partake in that.
14:31 I laughed so much on there reactions Onion Nuggets🤣🤣
10:24 Ironically the chizza made it's way to chile, though it followed more on pepperoni pizza rather than ham and cheese as seen in the video. Additionally they later released a chizza sandwich though they both were taken off the menu eventually.
They just brought the Chizza back. It’s currently on the menu! “Two extra crispy boneless chicken filets topped with savory marinara sauce, gooey mozzarella cheese, and a kick of pepperoni.“
its looking interesting
Chizza is just chicken parmesan with pepperoni
@@BanditLeader I think that’s fair. I had the same thought.
And it's back off the menu I had meant to get it because it sounded so good and I missed it. :(
@@CuteGallifreyian It was pretty mid.
The McLobster did not sell well outside of certain areas and quickly become unprofitable. McDonald's also supposedly ran into issues with the supply of fresh lobster which only exasperated the cost issues.
Should have use so-called "crab meat" instead, and just offer it once in a while, like the McRib.
I can't imagine McDonald's was getting a hold of super high quality lobster meat in bulk like that. McDonald's are not exactly known for their spectacular meat quality. I gave up on their chicken nuggets like 30 years ago after biting into my 100th gristly, unchewable nugget
Guga's deadpan delivery of "This is chizza" at 9:09 made me a fan. Along with the visual, I instantly knew he was talkin' chicken & pizza. So many hilarious moments in this episode. 👍
That's called milanesa napolitana. It's an Argentinian thing
The "i didnt even feel the hot dog going through" and the cut to russell westbrook "what" was hilarious I choked on my iced tea 😂
of course Angel loves the doughnut chicken combo lmao
It frustrates me because i'm trying to avoid those kinds of foods to lose weight yet Angel eats that and somehow can still look like a chad
@@Juggernogger64i spent over $500 in fast food in the last 3 months (not proud) and gain literally nothing in those months
@@Juggernogger64 it's often not about cutting out foods you like but just eating them in moderation. I believe in you
@@Juggernogger64 you can literally eat whatever you want. But to do so, you have to put in the work to burn it off before it sets in and you gain weight. So go ahead and eat the chicken donut, just be sure to hit the gym and work your ass off.
What's tough is you can only really do that if you're already in peak shape...otherwise you're workouts are gonna be ass and you'll see less progress which bums out people early on.@@grizzlor5340
The hotdog comment at 5:30 followed by the clip had me dying for almost the length of the rest of the video haha
Angel: "I didn't even feel the hotdog going through." Me: "That's what she said."
I was like “Ayo pause”😂😂
@12:08 - Here in New Zealand KFC still do DoubleDowns for about a month once a year. They usually mix it up a bit though too, last ones had a hasbrown in them also. Delicious....
Protip though - Always get them Zinger, the batter holds much better and is less of a mess.
Pray tell, what month so I can plan my trip around it
Here in malaysia they had 2 version of double down which one basically had some Korean sauce in it and other one was called double down cheezilla which had a fried mozerella cutlet in the middle. Never tried the one with the korean sauce but I have tried the cheezilla one, it was really good but quite greasy and of course the most calorific food out of the menu
You guys call them Dirty Birds too?
@@ParsnipCelery I haven't heard that term but I love it :D
@@ParsnipCelery Im a New Zealander and I've never heard anyone call them that either.
My favorite discontinued item is the Cinnamon swirl French Toast Breakfast Sandwich from Carls Jr/Hardees. I loved getting those for breakfast.
5:56 I know why the McLobster was removed. It didn’t sell very well, wasn’t very profitable for the company, & for supply issues. Some people even got sick due to some lobster going bad.
However, you can still get the McLobster in New England (including my home state) in the summer.
How much is it and is it worth it? Wondering if it's real lobster or it's immitation?
Do you think McD's would use real lobster?@@Chthonian121
@@Chthonian121 from what I can find online, it costs $3.99 alone & it does use real lobster instead of imitation lobster. Not sure if it’s good or not since I’ve never had one & possibly never will due to allergy reasons.
@@Chthonian121They’re really good. Not as big as a regular lobster roll, but honestly tastes the same. They don’t have yellow mayo though. I remember they had some problems with a couple of people getting sick from spoiled lobster, so maybe that’s what happened.
@@fiveapollo4206 $9.00 is pretty freaking insane to me. Even if the portions are small lobster is lobster.

14:55 Taco Bell’s “Sloppy Joe” was called the Bellbeefer and was a favorite of mine. Del Taco still has a version called the Bun Taco and is best when ordered at the original Del Taco locations in Barstow, CA.
They got del taco here in GA too
2:08 NOPE!! Put the piggy blankets like you would a cheese crust but it’s not cheese it’s THE PIGGY BLANKET!!
Guga calling it the "Cayeene Crystals" to avoid copyright. Genius!
9:07 chizza is actually very similar to a popular dish in Argentina. Suprema napolitana. It's cutlet chicken with tomato, cheese, ham and oregano. But now I want to try this version
Same here! Actually I want to try both! And the Double Down!
The absolute worst thing about watching guga videos is having to watch all these delicious foods and trying to imagine the taste 🥲
True but I would never try that pineapple burger 😂
New York Pizza had a chicken sate pizza (with peanut sauce). Absolutely incredible and probably one off the most ordered pizzas at the time they had this special. They even extended it.
Sadly they stopped with it and never brought it back again.
You should try that one!
6:55 Guga you said it yourself! Lobster is expensive! Also 15 dollars? You’d be lucky to get that for 45 dollars! 😂
Yeah, especially considering $15 is what McD's is charging for some of their burgers now, LOL!

That Skeletor reference might be the funniest thing i've ever seen in a Guga video!
This was very relaxing to listen to and watch. Your voice is very nice to listen to narrating over the cooking process.
The Double down was the best thing ever!!!
Gotta love that Skeletor laugh…
Back in the late 90s Wendy's had these Fresh Stuffed Pitas. I don't know what it was about them but they had a Chicken Caesar version that was AMAZING with chicken, lettuce, dressing, and coarse shreds of parmesan cheese. That along with a soft and warm pita? To die for.
Yes!! They were the best fast food item! I still miss the chicken fajita pita from Jack in the Box (I've lived in the UK 10 years where the fast food is only super unhealthy and flavorless, so nothing like that here), but that Caesar was the best. Their chili was good, too.
guga that pizza hut recipe is incorrect. 2:15. I worked at Pizza Hut when it was released.
you need to follow the same process as a stuffed crust, hand tossed dough, with cheese, but you use foot long hotdogs, 4-6.
slice evenly around
pluck and twist each one 45 degrees.
sauce, 1 cup
cheese, cup of cheese
topping, pepperoni count 36. (one of my bosses yelled about that)
bake until golden, for us 8 min 45 sec.
cut into 8 slices without disturbing the hotdogs placement.
serve with mustard.
Man, I love that Double Down. Bring it back!
A couple from Arbys that were discontinued:
ArbyQ, their roast beef smothered with smokeyQ sauce, kinda made like pulled pork on a sesame seed bun.
Meat Mountain : Think this is still served to some degree as a secret menu item? It varies, but the one I'm familar with has two chicken tenders, roast beef, ham, turkey, black angus, corned beef, peppered bacon, big eye swiss, sharp cheddar, and mayo. Think another version had pastromi, brisket, and their fish on a cross cut bun. Other versions on sliced honey wheat bread. Just a pile of meat sandwiched with bread.
The ArbyQ was the only reason I'd ever eat at Arby's
It IS actually a secret menu item! It's made with every meat & cheese they have on a bun. I used to order it fairly often when I worked there, little pricey without the discount but still worth it IMO. They for whatever reason can't promote it anymore, but if you ask for one they usually don't have a problem selling it.
PLEASE DO A PART 2!
why
@@devilslayer2951to cover more beloved/beloathed discontinued dishes, get his take on how to make it, and his opinion
Guga and team, I can explain some of these deletions. The KFC Donut Chicken sandwich was over 1800 calories, and it was way too much sugar. Pizza Hut "Pig-in-a-blanket" crust pizza did not sell. The Hula was not popular anywhere, including Hawaii. The Chizza from KFC just did not sell. The KFC is now a seasonal item similar to the McRib.
I spent a summer in New Hampshire in the late 90s working at a McDonalds and made the McLobsters while I was there. We never added other seasoning or chives to it, it was strictly bun, lettuce, lobster meat, mayo. It wasn't bad but it definitely would have been better with just a little seasoning.
Props to Leo for pronouncing "Cayeene" exactly the way it was spelled 😂. I got strong Ron Burgundy vibes from him.
0:58-01:03 made me laugh so much, wasn't expecting it.
I love how guga's laughing immediately went to a clip of skeletors' evil laugh just after the first minute! 🤣🤣
Man I was really hoping the Sonic drive-in Chicken club toaster would be on this list. It's not on the menu anymore but I order it everytime I go there anyway. my favorite
Try marinating steaks in oyster sauce! My fil taught me that trick and they come out perfectly umami and juicy every time!
My favorite discontinued thing was the KFC twister wrap. It was the sauce that made it awesome
Still available in Australia, including a crunchy version.
@@AndyViant that's awesome!
We need it back here. They've brought so many things back here that were gone but never that
Discontinued foods I wish they would bring back:
McDonalds: Cheddar Melt Burger, A burger topped with onions and cheddar cheese.
Checkers/Rallys: The Checker Q, pulled barbecued pork and sauce between two buns / Western Burger, a burger topped with shredded iceberg lettuce, red onions, and a tangy, sweet barbecue sauce.
10:30 I remember this. They way how I see it, no taco bell shell or flour tortilla, just the chicken has the breading. I saw it as a low carb option. I'm telling Guga! A "Guga Bell" episode would be dope. Lol
One of my greatest childhood memories was fishing with my dad in Halifax on vacation. We had bought fresh lobsters but were so excited we went to McDonald's and had a few of these. Never saw them again except costco used to sell it at least seasonally.
1:20 sounds like he has the taste buds of a Filipino. We iike things sweet here.
If anyone is gonna like that, it'd definitely be Angel
In the 80s McDonalds had a sandwich that everyone who tried it loved, it was called the chopped beefsteak sandwich. Now that was a bit before my time so i don't have any idea if it was good or not.. but if you look for the chopped beefsteak sandwich commercial i'm sure you'll agree that it looks amazing. The reason why it was discontinued was the price, people loved it but didn't want to spend that much on a sandwich from McDonalds.
14:35 GUGA GASLIT THEM SO HARD 😂😂😂😂😂😂
*lied to them
Lol that's not what gaslight means 😂
The attempt to use the fancy word failed
Favorite video on this channel. Hella fun to watch
5:45 the mclobster was discontinued due to employees not cooking the lobster properly and even serving it raw 😬
A lot of it probably comes down to the fact that even if any of these items are semi popular, the cost of involving a new product to their menu just isn't worth it, beyond being a promotional item.
KFC having to carry Doughnuts and Hot Dogs, Pizza Hut having Hot Dogs, Mcdonalds with Lobster and Pineapple (though cmon, how did that pass testing?), Taco Bell with pop rocks and Chicken Breast and buns. They were never meant to last, but the chicken taco was legit.
In Puerto Rico we still have the KFC doble down but here they put Mayo Ketchup and pepper jack cheese. I love it 🤤
2:28 "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it"
12:50 i loved this. I recal this from 2010 being the best. Looking back, thank god its discontinued because my diabetes would not handle it. Lol
I'm 2/3rds in the video - and so far the theme is clear. Most of these can come back as "Low(er) Carb/Keto versions". Especially if you replace flour/breadcrumbs with almond or similar low carb replacement.
7:40 i don't remember when guga did a collab with heisenberg.
Funfact Guga
The Pizzahut one still avaliable on some country in South east asia while the Double down is still avaliable in Philiphine
And the Mac Lobster i think still avaliable on some MCD in Norway
I like how guga doesn’t disrespect the food until trying it . 😊
Hello Guga! I have to say something, this video isn’t fair. You care about the food you’re making and you add such high quality ingredients, these restaurants prioritize profits
0:42 you'll know in a while😂
Now I'm just reminded the waffle tenders Popeye's did a while back, they could hardly keep them available at any of the locations near me. Came with a honey maple dipping sauce as well.
11:20 I’ve worked at many Taco Bell’s and I’ve never seen mayo in any of them lmao pretty sure it supposed to be sour cream
same but i believe it was avocado ranch
It was Avocado Ranch
What made the Naked Chicken Taco from Taco Bell was the sauce was not plain mayo...it was a spicy (not buffalo) ranch! It was my favorite thing ever from Taco Bell.
The Taco Bell "Bell Beefer" was great. One of my favorites. But the Taco Bell item I most miss, my hands down favorite thing at TB is the Encharito (besides the standard crunchy taco.)
Not fast food, but Red Baron's frozen breakfast pizza. 😭😭😭 It was the best!
The "Cheeza" in Spain is called "Cachopo Asturiano" and is a traditional dish, basically is the same but the tomato sauce and the cheese is literally inside the chicken and can put some jam or pepperoni too... very delicious 😋🤤
That sounds phenomenal
en argentina le decimos pizzanesa, es milanesa con la salsa, el jamon y el queso jajakaj
Nothing similar than a Cachopo.
Cachopo is made with beef not chicken.
And has no tomato at all.
Also cured jam is used instead.
I don't watch you often but every time I do I always love your enthusiasm and personality❤
8:10 Imma fan of dat CAYEENE Pepper! 👏🤣
As someone who worked at Pizza Hut and had to make those pigs in a blanket pizzas, I’m so glad they stopped making them. It took like an hour to make ten of them.
Guga did it, they are bringing back the chizza
As of last Monday, the my local KFC has it on the menu.
I ngl laughed so hard when you made "KFC", buttermilk and flour? You're missing so many spices and herbs,. absolutely no mention and it's a publicly known secret lol 😅
1:00 honey butter chicken biscuit (Whataburger)
can still kinda get it. just order chicken tenders and an a honey butter biscuit. same at bojangles with the chicken blueberry biscuit
If you do another of this, PLEASE try to recreate Burger King's Cheese Powder Fries. They would sell a bag of chesey powder that you could shake your fries in, and I loved the hell out of those. It was in the early 2000's.
Here in Nebraska we have Taco Johns. They have a “Taco Burger “. It’s similar to the Sloppy Josè
I lived in SD for a while and Taco John's became my favorite fast food, no Taco John's where I'm at now 😔
I'm Italian and I liked the Chizza but hated the Pizza Hut just cause it looks like refrigerated pizza, but I loved both ideas. The second one would be the perfect food to eat with friends if made properly
Don’t let CaseOh see this one
4:00 Hula Burger looks horrible. However, it's not the pineapple's fault. I had amazing pineapple burgers (but they had meat! and other toppings). Red Robin has a nice pineapple burger as well. But not the best I ever tried. Do a pineapple burger video for one of your channels! 10/10 will highly recommend!
It kind is tho
Sounds like a burger version of Hawaian pizza. (Not like denounce).
14:00 as an Indian this is just onion pakodi, why doeent McDonald's push it theyre DELICIOUS 😊
Not feeling the glizzy go through is a crazy statement 😂💀 5:32
4:28 Normal Hawaiian burgers are delicious, but that atrocity deserved to be discontinued
